Abstract: At present, graphite plays an increasingly important role in the development of the high-tech industry. There are also great differences in the characteristics of graphite resources among the rich downstream industries. China's graphite reserves are rich and complete in variety. With the transformation of global graphite consumption structure, the proportion of consumption in strategic emerging areas will expand rapidly in the future, and the development of the high-end graphite industry will face opportunities. This paper introduced the characteristics of graphite resources in several important graphite producing areas in China and the differentiated quality requirements of graphite resources for the main application of graphite. Suggestions for establishing a new system for the quality classification of graphite raw materials were proposed.
